MAN VS.. GoD.-Our citizens have
had an opportunity this week OF listen
ing to an atheist, an infidel and scot
fer. They have heard the theology OF
Christianity, gilded with the blasphemy
of man, and ridicule hurled at the great
and holy Bible. How strange that
man should rail against his Creator
What audacity that he should dare
raise his puny voice in opposition TO
God The master minds of the world
have paid homage to Divinity. The
greatest scientists, theologians and
philosophers have never been able to
give to the world SO grand a plan of
redemption, as that found in the New
Testament. There is more happiness
in Christian life than ever existed in
the bosoms of all the infidels who ever
lived. No Godi Then who hung tue
Permanent and bespaugled its blue
dome with golden stars? No God
Then who spake the mighty word, who
gave the command that caused nature
to carpet the earth with living green ?
Who gave the little violet its lovely
colors Who gave you life ? The inf
del looks about him, and beholds thou
ands, yea, millions of forces. laws. ex-
istences, that he can no more explain
than he can explain the magic that
gives the rose on the one stem the hues
of blood and on the other stem, the
whiteness of the snow. And yet, with
all the grand, latent forces and secrets
of the universe unexplained, he sets
himself up as thinker. Gods religion
is the hope of millions of souls to-day.
Millions have died believing in his Di-
vinity. Millions Will still derive JOY
and happiness from his humane, crys-
talizing love. Let foolish men talk. A
few may heed because they will not
trouble themselves to read Gods word.
But the thoughtful, honest man, even
though he is no Christian, will believe
in God, and encourage religion. He
knows, as do Others, that faith is the
life of Christianity, and faith with
views so grand and everlasting, is bet
ter than that which let's the body and
soul perish in death. The FOOL hath
said in his heart, there is no God. The
wise man knows .841t
God reigns above, He reigns alone;
Systems burn out and leave His throEe,
And still His years roll on.
Hists Of creation melt and fall
Around Him, changeless amid all
Whose ages still roll on.

A Terrible Battle.

One Mr.. L. knight of North East
and Mr.. P. Call Of Port Deposit
got into political dispute last week.
Mr.. Call told Mr.. Knight that he and
his doctrines weren't of much account
and Knight having Irish blood in his
veins sailed into Call with shilalah,
and gave him a terrible beating.
Knight bantered Call out for fair
fight the week before. but Call kept
indoors, and paid no attention to his
challenger. But Knight was deter,
mined not to be baff1ed and laid in
wait for Call by starlight when the
attack was made. Call taken I'M
awares and at disadvantage had no
opportunity to defend himself, and
from the noise and hubub the neigh.
bors thought it was case of murder,
sure but the affair was not so serious
as apprehended. One of the lockers
on said he believed it was a case OF
the "old boy" shearlng hogs, "more
noise than WOOL"

a widow was the first to be stricke

Fires.

A fire was discovered in the store
room of Mr.. E. +. Kidd at Pilot Town
about o'clock on the night of the
goth of September, by Mrs. Kidd,
who being unwell, was awake and
smelled smoke. She walked up her
husband who heard sound like the
roaring of flames, and hurried down
stairs-the family occupying the
building as their residence, part of
which was used as store room-and
discovered fire burning under one of
the counters. He raised the alarm
and several neighbors we're on hand
in few minutes, who succeeded by
promptly using buckets of water to
eztinguish the flames before they had
communicated with the building
The fire had commenced among lot
muslins and calico. The damage
was appraised at $3.50 by agents of the
Farmers and Mechanics Insurance

Smoke and flames were seen issuing

Indian Summer,

"Smoke as from a thousand wig.
vans fills the air." wrote the poet
Longfellow. Those 'Indian Sum-
mer' days used to be the rule in the
olden times. and in October and early
November the atmosr here was filled
with smoky haze and the sun went
down in blood; but this autumn fea-
ture has been conspicuously absent
for a number of years till the
present season. We have had this
particular cast of sky for the
past fortnight. which is early
in the fall for Indian Sum-
mer, but the unmi stakeable canopy
which designates this phenomenon is
hung in the heavens this early fall.
The smoky curtain which has nearly
obscured the sun has fastened the
cool weather ohstructing his rays,
and an unusually early fall and
winter, or rather cold weather, are in.
dictated on every hand. Those who
prophesy more warm weather are
doomed to disappointment. We have
had but light frosts thus far, but air
and earth are chilling steadily while
the smoky atmospere obstructs the
warming rays of the sun, and an un.
usually early fall and winter are Ger
tain to follow, which means long
winter.

Lotteries.

The drawing Of a handsome watch
is announced to take place in one OF
the Elkton churches on the 10th of
next month. Tickets are sold and
every thing about the affair partakes
of the character of a lottery. Lot
teries are under the ban of law in
this state and churches should not
be allowed to violate that law no
more than a saloon or any other or
ganized company to make money.
The scheme of all these enterprises
is to tempt the public to pay in a
hundred times more than they will
get out. Something for nothing is
always the object.
